Hi all, in the FAI wiki Paul Lussier started a talk with questions regarding the preserve equivalents in setup-storage (Paul, I hope you're on the list as well).
The question was: > > could anybody give me the right trasformation of this configuration to the > new format > > disk_config hda > primary - preserve1 > primary - preserve2 > primary / 100- rw,errors=remount-ro ; boot -j ext3 > logical swap 128 sw > Some discussions in last year's developer meeting resulted in a change of the preserve syntax to two possible options: preserve_always and preserve_reinstall. In preparing this message I noted that not only users might be confused about that, but also the man-page has several inconsistencies and lacks proper documentation. I'll fix that in a moment, but first let me try to explain: - There is no preserveX in the partition lines anymore. - The above config is now written as disk_config hda preserve_always:1,2 bootable:3 # sizes chose arbitrarily, don't know primary - 1000 primary - 1000 primary / 100- ext3 rw,errors=remount-ro logial swap 128 swap sw - Instead of preserve_always, preserve_reinstall could have been used. Then, the partition would be preserved _unless "initial" is added to FAI_FLAGS_. In the latter case, the partition would be newly created. I hope this clarifies things, and I'll try to fix the man-page and the wiki page as soon as possible! Best, Michael
